Retired Badass: Hoot Gypsum, from "Cowboy Max," is a former space rodeo star and brilliant cowboy who recently left the rodeo due to his age. Unsurprisingly, he's still a deft hand with rope tricks and taming space ponies. | |

Max refers to himself as a "space baby" more often, likely because the pilot was also called "Space Baby." He also acts more baby-like, instead of just being an absurdly young Kid Hero, and is implied to be less than a year old (while he's 16 months old in the series). | |

Defanged Horrors | |
| Fantastic Max / int_281f09d0 | comment |
Defanged Horrors: In a serious sci-fi show, the plot of "Journey to the Center of my Sister" would be played for sheer horror: A microscopic, yet sapient, parasitic lifeform has taken up residence in a little girl, is making her sick, and has laid eggs inside her body in order to deliberately and maliciously use her as an infection vector for the whole human race. However, said parasite is a mincing Basil Rathbone parody, the eggs are portrayed as chicken eggs complete with egg carton, and his "children" look exactly like him, but wearing bows. Thus, the otherwise horrifying subject matter comes off as just silly. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Fantastic Max / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The original pilot, aired as "From Here to Twinkle, Twinkle" in the series, is noticeably different in several ways. In addition to taking more time to explain the premise: The animation style on the whole is very different. Certain things, such as the rocket's movements, are more fluid, and the lightning is much more dramatic and high-contrast. However, the mouth movements are generally stiffer. Max refers to himself as a "space baby" more often, likely because the pilot was also called "Space Baby." He also acts more baby-like, instead of just being an absurdly young Kid Hero, and is implied to be less than a year old (while he's 16 months old in the series). FX has a much sadder, mopeyier personality; part of that is due to the pilot's plot being about him being homesick, but in general he's more worried. In particular, he has a catchphrase, "I don't know, I'm just an alien!" that didn't carry over. His main series personality is more of a Cowardly Lion. AB's design is subtly different (he's got a bigger head and is generally taller), and he behaves closer to a true caretaker for Max instead of a sidekick. In particular, he often tries to quiz him as a parent might ("Can you name some other animals with very sharp teeth?"), and is more concerned with Max's upbringing. The pilot's main villain is Dumping Jack Trash, who is a full-on villain in the pilot. In the series, he's an Anti-Villain at best, and ends up a minor recurring ally of Max's after his debut. | |

Little Green Men: FX is a small green alien with a long snoot and a pair of bulbous antennae. Other members of his race, the Twinklairians, are not necessarily green (his parents are pink and blue, for example), but he is to fully lean into the trope. | |

Egg-Laying Male: Nasil Bathrobe is referred to as male, but he nonetheless was capable of laying a whole bunch of eggs in Zoey's body, one of which hatched into a tiny clone of himself. (Being as this is an 80's kids cartoon, Zoey's body is depicted more like a city full of tiny goofy creatures and the eggs literally look like chicken eggs, complete with egg cartons.) | |

| Fantastic Max / int_687b55f5 | comment |
Most Writers Are Adults: Max has the excuse of being hyper-intelligent, so it makes sense he'd act more adult. Zoey, however, is meant to be only five years old, but acts more like a preteen or young teenager—she babysits Max sometimes, she has a crush on a boy at school, and she's shown to be smart enough to do things like have her own garden and be competent at video games. | |

FX himself plays with this—he looks like a doll, with a short stature, plush skin, and a pull-cord he pulls on to talk, but he's an ordinary alien and all of his people, the Twinklairians, look like that. | |

Switched at Birth | |
| Fantastic Max / int_cd54b574 | comment |
Switched at Birth: An odd example in "The Big Sleep," where a goofy doctor sends FX (who came in for a tangled pull-cord) home with a pair of aliens who just had an egg hatch. FX knows he's absolutely not their baby, but they don't notice at first. Thankfully, Max and AB manage to get their REAL baby back to them. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Fantastic Max / int_d001c42c | comment |
The pilot's main villain is Dumping Jack Trash, who is a full-on villain in the pilot. In the series, he's an Anti-Villain at best, and ends up a minor recurring ally of Max's after his debut. | |

Character Catchphrase | |
| Fantastic Max / int_d308cbb0 | comment |
Character Catchphrase: Max's "Dirty Diapers!" when anything goes wrong. Also, FX's "Rocket and Roll!" when activating his powers. His cousin XS uses "Rock 'Em and Sock 'Em!", keeping in line with his aggressive bully personality. | |

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit" | |
| Fantastic Max / int_d5a84e45 | comment |
Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Nasil Bathrobe, from "Journey to the Center of My Sister," is called a "virus" by the space police. He seems to be more an extremely tiny alien who's able to cause disease in people by entering their bodies—closer to a parasite than a virus. And, of course, he's totally sapient. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Fantastic Max / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In "Close Encounters of the Carrot Kind," Fatso the rabbit alien wanders around Earth freely with his only disguise being to hide his ears. The only thing anyone notices as "off" about him is that he's got a literally big mouth. | |

| Fantastic Max / int_eef90616 | comment |
AB's design is subtly different (he's got a bigger head and is generally taller), and he behaves closer to a true caretaker for Max instead of a sidekick. In particular, he often tries to quiz him as a parent might ("Can you name some other animals with very sharp teeth?"), and is more concerned with Max's upbringing. | |
